Playing off dribble penetration is an important concept to be taught in any offense. In this clip, you will see how 2013 Final Four coach Gregg Marshall and his staff take their players through a shooting series to reinforce proper movement and getting set up to take good shots created off drive and kick situations.

Euro Shooting

Player Movements: The “Euro” move – looping behind an offensive teammate driving the basketball – has become increasingly taught in today’s game. Watch how the Wichita State Shockers work on this Euro move as well as a baseline drift move on a baseline drive. The players go through a series of shots that include catch and shoot jumpers, as well as shot fakes with one dribble pull-up jumpers to both the right and left.

Teaching Points: Coach Marshall and his staff emphasize players getting set up properly for the shot by getting their feet set and having a quick release.

Mark Petrone, Assistant Coach at the Haverford School, puts the team through a great pre-game warm-up drill to tune up the sticks. This drill is intended to strengthen shooting fundamentals, passing, and shooting with constant motion. Here you will get a fast-paced shooting drill that is easy on the legs due to limited running.

3 Man Shooting Drill

Player Movements: Divide the players into three spots in the shape of a triangle above the cage. The passing order is right-side to middle and then left-side to the right-side (you pass and then you get a shot).

Drill Essentials: This drill relies heavily upon proper player movement and rotation. By rotating positions, the players get the opportunity to work on shooting with both hands.

Assistant Coach Mark Petrone of The Haverford School puts the team through a warm up drill. This exercise is intended to strengthen shooting fundamentals and shooting with constant motion. This warm-up isn’t very strenuous on the players, but allows them to achieve a high number of shots in a short period of time.

Warm Up Drill: Fake High, Shoot Low

Player Movements: Split the shooters into two lines, each five yards above GLE and 10 yards off the pipes. The first player passes to the other line and that player runs to the island in front of the cage, fakes high and then shoots low to a corner. The player that made the first pass is now the receiver and takes his turn shooting.

Drill Essentials: The players should call for the ball, make the fake high and snap the ball down hard.

Drill Tips: The key to this drill is for the players to be in constant motion and to keep both lines moving at a quick pace.
